Title: Meat Puppets
Post by: Stan on August 30, 2007, 12:52:49 AM: Is anyone going to the Thursday (Aug. 30th) show at the Knitting Factory (the real one)? I haven't seen them in fifteen years, but I want to. I'll have to go after work and then drive home...somebody talk me into going.

Right now.

Did you wind up going, Stan? I had intended to go to at least one of those shows but have felt like utter garbage all week and bowed out.

No, I didn't get home from work until almost nine and was really beat. The next train was at 9:58, so I would have to rush to catch maybe the last hour. I am a lame old person of late.

Edited to add: Oh yeah, I hope you feel better, Christine.

I saw the Meat Puppets tonight at the Middle East in Cambridge (well, several generous chunks of the set when I wasn't on troll patrol at the entrance) and they were awesome. Just super tight, re-invigorated, rocked-out power trio brilliance. They went back and forth between full-on rock and the more countrified fare seamlessly. Their new drummer is a monster who also happens to look like Kevin Spacey, and the brothers were bouncing all over the place. "Lake of Fire" or whatever it is called was a particularly heavy encore standout. Like Sabbath/Bags heavy. Great, great stuff.
